MENS NECKWEARI Specification of Letters Patent. P t t Jung g, ggg

Application filed June 17, 1921. Serial No. 478,277.

To all whom it may-concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES A. Hnwns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Melrose, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts. have invented new,

and 5 is the wire skeleton frame.

The Wire skeleton frame employed for the internal support of the fabric is pliable, formed from soft pliable metal. such as for instance copper wire, or sheet metal. thereby retaining any given position into which the wire skeleton may be bent as the wings of the tie are arranged by the wearer. The fabric of the wings extends materially beyond the outline of the wire skeleton frame of the bow, thereby relieving the tie of any effect of rigidity at the outer edges of the wings.

The OUVlOlIS advantage of this tie, over the made up how ties formerly in use, lies in the fact that this tie resembles a bow tied by the wearer. leaving latitude for some in dividual effect in the arrangement and conformation of the bows i,- different relative positions to suit the taste of the wearer. there being a well known objection to an ornamental article of wearing apparel presenting a uniform appearance on all individuals.

It is obvious that the user of the bow tie can bend or shape the bows by his hands when arranging his tie. because of the presence'of the pliable wire skeleton frame 5, and that when so formed it will retain its shape until disturbed by some external force or means.

It possesses the further advantages of economy in material and ease of adjustment.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent. is:

l. A bow necktie including a frame of pliable metal having the general outline of a bow necktie and being readily bendable to impart a variety of shapes to the tie at the will of the wearer. I

2. .bow necktie including a frame of pliable wire having the general outline of a bow necktie and being readily bendable to impart a variety of shapes to the tie at'the will of the wearer.

3. A bow necktie containing a skeleton frame having the general outline of a bow necktie substantially smaller than the outlines of the bow. said frame being composed of pliable wire readily bendable to impart a variety of shapes to the tie at the will of the wearer.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses. this 10th day of June. 1921.
